We have only just started watching Series 1 of The Bridge so a bit lost as to what is going on in Series 2. Can't believe we didn't watch it earlier as it's so good :D

 

Ooh don't watch or read anything else to do with series 2 as what happens at the end of series 1 is a shock and you don't want to know in advance. !!!

I really enjoyed this series and especially the last episode - can't wait for the next series, but I suppose I'll just have to!!! I just don't think that Salamander is going to adequately fill the gap. I love Martin & can't believe he would be that stupid either. DH wondered if the shadowy man was Rasmus, but I'm not sure how that would work out, didn't think about the ex-boyfriend. I did imagine that he had a beard/floppy hair but I didn't recognise the voice.

 

*Whisper - I think I might even prefer the Bridge to The Killing

I think shadow man may be the senior police officer (Lars ?) or Rasmus, also seems likely that Martin is a decoy, poss the prisoner (Jens ?) is not dead at all.

(Honest, I do watch this but all the Scandinavian names get me muddled up esp with Borgen and the Killing to try and remember too !)

Great last episode though - I taped series one but deleted it as couldn't get into it, but so many people raved about it that I persevered this time and loved it !

Had a sudden thought last night that the shadowy figure may be the bloke who fled to Malaysia as he was the original scientist and ex-boss of the women who was shot...makes sense to me anyway. (Or the bloke in prison who had escaped and the suicide story is a cover)....oh now I don't know again!!

In a way I wish that only 1 episode a week was shown as that would mean we had 10 weeks of something good on a Saturday night rather than 5. I know that if I had any willpower at all I could record it and only watch one each week but that is not going to happen.

 

The Bridge is by far my favourite of the Scandi dramas. Of the ones I have seen this is my order

 

The Bridge

 

The Killing (apart from Series 3 which I thought was a bit pants)

 

Borgen (equally as good as The Killing but in a different way so joint 2nd really)

 

Arne Dahl

 

Other European series I liked

 

Series 1 of the French detective drama Spiral - series 2 not quite so good

 

The Returned - loved this

 

Will give Salamander a go but I don't have any high hopes that it will match up to The Bridge

I discounted Rasmus as I thought he was genuinely a hopeless cop trying to be a better cop but I can appreciate the writers might be extra devious ....we shall see :D

 

I was just thinking the other day about my order of preference for all these dramas as well, and mine is:

 

The Killing

The Returned

The Bridge (Series 2, I wasn't overkeen on Series 1)

Borgen (ditto)

Spiral (only seen Series 2, got Series 1 on DVD but not watched it yet)

 

Not seen Arne Dahl

I loved the Returned too.

 

My total favourite is Borgen - all series, then the Killing - 1st series (series 2 and 3 were nowhere near as good as it seemed to me), then this series of The Bridge (I was not all that keen on the 1st series and am actually rather shocked at how little I remember - could it be age kreeping up :anxious: )

 

I also loved Wolander (but not the one with the walrus, nor the Brit version) and can't forget Montalbano because it always makes me smile.

(editted to get spelling of Montalbano right :oops: )

My list would be

The Bridge

The Killing (late to that though- only seen series 3... must catch up!)

Borgen

 

Liked Arne Dahl too although I didn't see much of it. Haven't seen any version of Wallander either.

 

Ah Montalbano! I love him :) I haven't made my mind up about young Montalbano yet, the hair puts me off, though they have got the legs right :lol:

:lol: I love Montalbano too and although I have a bit of a crush on the older Salvo, I prefer storylines from the 'Young Montalbano' series. I know what you mean about the hair... just wrong!!

 

What did we think of Salamander? I wasn't expecting to like it as I could never get into Spiral.

I was very pleasantly surprised and looking forward to next weeks episodes :D

 

I do prefer a bit more gloom and foreboding of a Saturday night though...

3 murders not enough for you :lol:

 

Salamander had me gripped butOH said its been done before, I don't care I found it disturbing. Love sat nights

 

Love Montalbano as well. Our bikes are called Salvo and Livia :lol:
